I read with interest the letter from Gary Brande in the Feb. 26 Times-News. To that I add a hearty “AMEN’. The only reason Japan didn’t attack the United States mainland during World War II rather than Pearl Harbor, was the fact that practically every household in the United States had at least one gun.

As Mr. Brande says, it’s not the legally owned guns that are the problem.
